Ukraine did not attack Putin's residence, says Trump after American checks

U.S. national security agencies, including the CIA, concluded Ukraine did not target Putin’s residence despite Russia's claims during intensified war negotiations.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump said U.S. national security officials found Ukraine did not target a residence used by Russian President Vladimir Putin and added, `We don’t believe that happened now that we’ve been able to check`.
  • On Dec. 29, Moscow accused Kyiv of launching 91 long-range drones toward a residence used by Vladimir Putin amid talks to update a U.S.-backed peace framework after Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian President, visited Florida.
  • Moscow released footage showing a downed drone and said Russian air defences intercepted 91 long-range drones, adding the Novgorod region property was undamaged and Putin was elsewhere.
  • Trump initially reacted with `considerable concern` and `anger` after discussing the allegation with Putin, while European officials said Moscow's claim aimed to undermine talks and Russia said it would review its negotiating position.
  • On Dec. 31, Trump shared a New York Post editorial that questioned Moscow's account, while European leaders plan to meet in France on Tuesday to discuss a U.S.-backed plan Zelensky says is 90% ready.
